Abstract

OBJECTIVE: We evaluated a fully automated femoral cartilage segmentation model for measuring T2 relaxation values and longitudinal changes using multi-echo spin-echo (MESE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We open sourced this model and developed a web app available at https://kl.stanford.edu into which users can drag and drop images to segment them automatically.
